Inter director Beppe Marotta spoke after the win on the final match day of the Serie A season. Inter finished the year in second place, behind Juventus. Here were Marotta's thoughts: "This year we created a model that we have been satisfied with. We obtained 82 points like the treble year, we are a team with more victories on the road, we had the best defense. Credit to Conte, Oriali, Zanetti, Ausilio. Difference with Juve? Mentality, we need to have a winning one. Matches against Sassuolo, Bologna, Verona, we need to bring home the points in any way we can. We need to be more clinical."
Marotta also had a comment on the rumors of Messi at Inter: "We must be realists, it is a fantasy conversation. It would be disrespectful to bandy about fabrications, we must return to reality. Barcelona is a supportive environment for him, he will finish his career there. We are talking about fantasy football."
